Here’s one of the exchanges:
How was the reception?
It is so encouraging to teach people who have experienced Psalm 19:9-10, “the rules of the LORD are true, and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb.”
God’s people love God’s word. The Bible is a subtle book, though, and it’s not always easy to see how later biblical authors have interpreted what earlier biblical authors wrote. It is God’s rich mercy to get to serve God’s people by helping them see the intrinsic connections, the inner logic of the most important book in the world.
The word of God is living and active. It is able to make us wise unto salvation. It is all profitable. For two weeks, we the thirsty, we who had no money, delighted ourselves on the richest of fare (Isa 55). “Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to thy name give glory, because of thy lovingkindness, because of thy truth” (Ps 115:1, NASB).
The whole thing is here.
Thanks Jim. Wonderful interview. A blessing to read.
